There you are Thriving yet again, When you’ve been ripped Transplanted to another world, You’ve stayed silent But only for a while. Not content merely to live In the wind and rain You’ve danced merrily Wherever you are As if to say Watch me rise!

it’s love #haiku 307
It's a feeling kind of weekend. Open I declare, love is sacred, paramount, for those near and far; winds of storm, rain pelts fear may dominate, let not love be a limit.

In response to this photo prompt at Sue Vincent's Daily Echo: Here is my contribution: Insignificance this human life - atop a mountain heralding victory then the looming chill of the shadow of the next, but look to the sun though casting shadows its rays of warmth always following; The indomitable human spirit - at… Continue reading A new dawn #writephoto

Lighthouse and other musings
I love lighthouses… what a realisation! I cannot recall a time when I had missed an opportunity to explore one… and this time, I am dragging my children along. Approaching the lighthouse, the inescapable sense of ‘big’…perhaps the vast blue sky and roaring ocean in the background add to the sense of magnificence. Irrespective of… Continue reading Lighthouse and other musings
